OAKLAND, Calif. - Warriors guard Stephen Curry went through his usual dribble routine. He took a few lefthanded hooks and jumpers, moved to the right side for a few more.

Curry was soon ruled out for Game 2 of the first-round playoff series between the Rockets and Warriors, pulling himself off the floor before he could begin the conversations that were expected to follow to perhaps indicate more about his condition than his "questionable" status could have.
